Faux Fur Throw A Lovely Practical Winter Covering

By Jose Morris


There is little in the world softer, warmer or more beautiful than fur. Since the early beginnings of humankind animal pelts have been used to keep warm and snug against winter weather. Hides have been used as clothing and blankets for thousands of years. The modern equivalent of this practical and comfortable covering is a faux fur throw.

Many wild cats, bears and other mammals are now endangered with very few breeding in the wild or zoos. Hunting animals for their pelts is abhorrent to a lot of people and owning a real blanket or garment made of fur is frowned upon in most societies. Thankfully, the modern fibers available can recreate the numerous colors and textures without the need for hunting or farming these beautiful creatures for their hides.

An imitation leopard pelt or bear pelt can be just as lovely to look at as the real thing. The man made fibers used can achieve the exact same warmth and softness. A cover made from such a man made fabric is a fantastic cover for a couch or day bed in wintertime. It is able to transform a cold leather or harsh corduroy into a warm and lovely place to snuggle up against the winter nights.

Nature gives us a huge variety of furs from the lush colorings of a tiger to the pearly beauty of a chinchilla; however technology can give us an even greater range. Choose to match your furry comforter to your drapery and you might find that blue tigers do not exist but you can get what you want with an imitation fabric. There are companies who have extensive ranges of styles, sizes and colors to meet your every need. You could even get a small version to match to keep your four-legged friends warm and cozy too.

Even just a quick look on the internet will bring up a number of ranges on offer and give you a guideline for costs. Many of the manufacturers and retailers ship overseas so check costs for shipping when working out the final price. While most sizes are available to suit standard beds or couches, there are also manufacturers who can make your cover bespoke so you will get exactly the shade, size and pattern you want.

Along with the wide variety of patterns and colors, the backing for your blanket can also vary. Some are backed with the finest satins or silks, while others have more durable suede-like fabric. Take time to think where you will use your purchase and whether it will need regular cleaning.

The ultimate in warmth and comfort is to have a double-sided throw. These can be created using the same fabric or complementary fabrics. You could choose a leopard print for one side and a plainer black bear for the reverse. It is worth bearing in mind though that like its natural counterpart the fabric is heavy so double the skins, double the weight.

Looking after your purchase can normally be easily achieved with dry cleaning or by gentle hand wash. The supplier normally provides care instructions which reflect the exact item you have bought. If you are planning on using your purchase for pet bedding then it is worth picking one that is easy to wash in a machine using a gentle setting such as the wool cycle.
